Original Popular Music

Original Popular Music is a channel dedicated to exploring and sharing the large body of musical work created between the 1840s and 1960s that was referred to at the time as simply Popular Music.

My goal with this channel is to introduce and share this style of music with viewers as well as give historical background and context about the songs, the composers and the world in which this music was created.

I hope that by doing so, I can give added context for people who already know about and appreciate this genre; introduce new music and its background to people who know a bit about it but want to learn more; and introduce and share this timeless music with people who are not yet familiar with it.

The different videos I have on this channel include information about various elements of the Original Popular Music world, brief biographies of composers and lyricists, reviews of movie musicals where many of these songs originated, analyses of specific songs and much more!
